{" HO0ULU LAHUI! F."


This was the significant and patriotic
declaration of policy made by the King
soon after ascending the Throne, and it
must be recognized by all that His Maj
estY has striven in that direction.
Policy or the fates, however, have been
against him. The nation has not in
creased in the sense contemplated by
the King. 1t has decreased and is de-
creasing. The native Hawaiians are
dying off, and their place is not being
supplied by cognate race. Chinese
immigration has not tended to increase
the nation. 1t has operated in a pre-
cisely opposite direction. Everyone sees
this and understands precisely how it is.
Gradually the Chinese are acquiring the
little freeholds of the native people, and
large estates are also being built up by
them. Political control always fellows
the possession of land, and we may
speedily look forward to the Chinese
vote as a factor in national politics.
Japanese immigration on it's present
lines will not build up the Hawaiian
nation. The sentiment of nationality
is go ingfained in their mental and
moral tissue that the idea of denational
izing the japanese who may come to
this country for industrial purposes may
as well be abandoned. 1t is folly to
cherishsit all. Useful and valuable they
may be in many respects, but as mate
rial upon which to raise a new and
vitalized Hawaiian nationality the Japs
cannot be counted on any more than
the Chinese, who never for moment
forget the paramount claims of their
own nationality
'Hooulu LahuiL - How is it to be az
complished? By putting it in the power
of Portuguese immigrants, and other
nationalities of Western descent and civ
ilization, to acquire land and make
homes Tie them to the SOIL Enable
them to live on their own piece of land
by theslabor of their hands. Give them
permanent stake in the country. Do
not treat them as labor tramps, and
foundation will be laid upon which to
build. The older people may cherish
memories of. their early homes on the
Atlantic Islands, but their children will
grow up to know this country and none
other, and viii become as loyal to its
institutions as native Hawaiians.
This can never happen with Asiatic
immigrants. Asiatic civilization has
crystalized under absolute despotism.
Their genius is eircumscribed by local
or national tradition. They are unsuited
for colonization. AS contract or free
laborers they may be more valuable for
some purposes than people of the Euro
pean family of nations but it is impos-
sible for them to adopt as their own the
civilization of the West Yet these are
the institutions that have been engrafted
upon the Hawaiian stock, which has
raised it from barbarisrn to fair de-
gree of civilization indeed. Let all who
are interested in the preservation of
Hawaiian nationality and the native
people therefore take care that this
noble work is not obliterated by an adj
vancing wave of barbarism, tempered
by an industrial civilization the most
perfect the world has ever seen, and at
the same time the most destructive of
all elements of morality and personal

Not Too Proud.

A gentleman owns fine tract of cedar
land not far from Austin, Tex, and few
days ago he was told that some negroes were
cutting down the timber, so he rode out to
see about it. To his establishment he found a
wealthy white neighbor, with team and
wagon, hauling off the timber.
"Why am astonished, Colonel" said the
owner of the land 81 heard that lot of
negroes were stealing my timber, and here 1
find you, white man, cutting my timber.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself"
''Well, to tell the TRUTH" responded the
other party, 81 hate to steal timber like a
darkey, but these cedar trees make such

Fort street.

The condition of Fort street is very
bad. 1t has been torn up to lay water
main, and of course this has not helped
to make the thoroughfare better. That,
however, was necessary work; but it
might be possible for the Road Super
visor to make the approach to Fort-street
School from Beretania street easier for
the children attending it. A great many
children are compelled to wade through
tenacious mud several inches deep the
entire length of Fort street going and
returning from school. A sufficient
dressing of black sand ON one of the
sidewalks would be a very great and
substantial improvement.

THE STEINER COLLISION.

Though a good deal Of fresh information
concerning the collision between the White
Star steamers Celtic and Britannia has been
gathcned since yesterdays TRIBUNE was
issued. nothing has come to light which justi-
fics the ascription of blame to the captain OF
either vessel Much bazy talk has indeed
been INDUCED in by some OF the passengers,
whose views would be more valuable did they
know one end Of steamer from the other,
but the confusion of most OF tins kind OF
criticism may be seen in the perfectly solemn
statement OF one passenger to the effect that
the Britannia was to blame because she was
going fast when tho collision occurred, whereas
tho Celtic had almost stopped. The fact IS
that when the two vessels were found TO be
running into one another tho captain OF the
Celtic stopped and reversed his engines, and
the captain OF the Britannia gave the signal
for full speed ahead The stoppagc or partial
stopyage Of the one and the increased speed OF
tho other resulted from the measures taken
10 avert the collision, and had no relation TO
tho previous speed of the steamers. So far as
is known both were at about half speed when
they sighted one another. There is certainly
no evidenre that either was at full speed, and
considering the thickness OF tho weather moth
ing is moro improbable.
One difficulty in handling the immense hllkS
OF modern ocean passenger steamers Is that
they cannot he stopped or even turned us
quickly as is necessary in an emergency.
Though tho Cctic's engines vera gong fnu
speed astern when she struck the Britannia,
the momentum Of the blow was great. Had
Jhc Ccltic's way not been considerably checked
she might nayo driven almost through inc
Britannia. But il IL evident that with such
bulk to handle quick manGuvring is mpracu-
cable. quick enough, that is, 10 avert collision
when tho vessels aro as close together N they
were in this instance Nevertheless 1t can
hardly be doubted that both the commanders
did the best Tint could be done in the clrcum-
stances. and that to tho promptncss aud good
Judgment of their action is dine the escape from
what threatened to be frightful disaster.
The loss of life and injuries among the Steeragc
passengers on the Britannia are greatly to be
dcplored. and no doubt the sight OF the havoc
wrought by the collision had much to do with
the panicky rush for the boats which produced
,or,norarr confusion. The more faets arc
brought out, however, the clearer docs it be-
como that the casualties which occurred Werc
slight in comparison with the fearful danger
so narrowly escaped by both the vessels.

widow she has exalted the purest and tender
est relations Of English homo life; and the
innate womanlineSs of her character has left
permanent impression upon the social life
Of English-speaking races the world over. As
a sovereign her great merits have been The
readiness with which she has adapted herself
to the political conditions Of constitutional
monarchy and the influence which she has
always powerfully excrtcd in favor of peace,
purity and public morality.
The Victorian era has been one OF splendid
achievements and marvellous national progress /;
but in the glorics Of advancing civilization no
sovereign in a constitutional and even demo-
ratio State such as England his become can
claim large share. 1t is the genius of the
Anglo-SNon race that has triumphcd these
fifty years. The Queens browning work dur
ing her long reign has been the promotion OF
the homcly virtues and noble traits that adOrn
and sanctify the home life Of the English
people. Tier womanliness has elevated the
standards of serial life and public morals and
exercised by the divine right of progressive
Christianity a gentle and bcncfccnt sway.

THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY.

The Queens birthday will be celebrated to-
day with increased zest and effusive loyalty
Every year the colors are tTooped on land and
saluted at sea; London is illuminated, and
throughout the English speaking world the
sovereign's health Is drunk and ''Rule Bn
tannia" is sung. This Is the Jubilee year and
the honors of the days celebration are TO be
multiplied by patriotic pride and loyal affcc-
ton. The completion of the Queens fftieth
year on tho throne is close at hand, for in a
few weeks the coronation is to be commemo-
rated by magnificent pageant in Wcstn:ns-
ter Abbey, vet so accustomed has the world
grown to think OF her as being In middle life
that the statement that she is all but seventy
years of ago is credited with difficulty. She
was born in the last year of the reign OF
George III. and enters today upon her sixty
ninth year. OF the five English Queens since
the Norman Conquest she has had the longest
reign, Elizabeth having been on the throne
forty four years Queen Victoria, however,
was only eighteen when she was crowned
and has not attained to Queen Eilzabeth's age,
who having been proclaimed sovereign at
twenty-five died ct seventy. In the list Of
English sovereigns there are only three who
had longer rclgnS than inc queens, lheSc
are Edward H.. Henry Ill. and George Ill,
Tho ashamed having been on the throne for
ffty-nine years
The sovereign with whom Queen Victoria
is naturally contrasted is Elizabeth, who
rcigncd like a king by virtue Of her imperious
will, inneMble purpose and unfailing self
reliance. One was an essentially masculine
character with few signs Of the scnsibility and
innate gentleness characteristic Of her sex.
Tho other has never been unsexcd in her long
and triumphant reign. She has been woman

A Bad PRECEDENT

The action Of the Missouri Legislature in
refusing to mako tho necessary appropriations
for the maintenance Of the militia has resulted
in the disbandment of the LIST Regiment Of ST.
Louis, and viii probably lead to The breaking
up of the State forces generally, This Is q
bad precedent, and argues the existence OF
state of feeling in the Legislature which the
people OF Missouri cannot afford to approve or
tolerate, II b certainly not credible that the
members who arc responsible for this blow al
tho citizen soldiery have the sanction of their
constituents generally, for before that could
be believed ii would have TO be shown that
Mssourians had forgotten the principles upon
which the American State is founded and the
system by which law and order arc guaranteed
in it, The maintenance of a militia has al
WAYS been carefully attended to hitherto and
with reason, and tho refusal to support such a
force ia State which has already sustained
such heavy losses from the lawleSsness and
violence Of portion of its people l. peculiarly
ominous and diScouraging.
There is OF coure no room 10 doubt that
the Missouri Legislature has in this matter
sacrificed the grayest public and State interests
10 demagog ism. lis action on the Militia bill
is q cowardiy and disloyal surrender to the
lawlcss clements, and tantamount to deciara-
ton that if hereafter the peace and safety Oh
St Louis arc endangered by riots and the
property of citizens is threatened with destruc-
zion. there shall be no barrier raised against
the lawbreaIers, but their intended victims
shall 10 handed over to them helpless. VI
course Missouri merchants, manufacturers,
railroad managers and employers generally
will not Weld themselves 20 easily as this TO
the mercy Of rioters Betrayed and abandoned
by their representatives they will be compelled
to depend upon their own resources, and when
trouble occurs again the country may expect
to hear Of fierce encounters between the law.
less strikers and equally lawless bands OF
